Replacement buttons rip off!

[skippiemcgee]

Hi,


I have a Grand Tourismo S and have to say what a great car. I really love the look and the soundtrack is just incredible.

But less than impressed by some of the prices for what should be inexpensive items.

For instance I noticed one of the plastic buttons has disappeared from the passenger seat, see below, my local dealer wants £35-£40 for a replacement, for what should be £2 at best.

Any ideas where I can source one at something approaching reasonable?



Thanks in advance.


Nick.

Yes maybe try Stuart. Look on the used part supplier thread for his details.

Going to be hard pushed, though. He'll want to sell them with the seat.

£30 from Eurospares

I don't think that's too bad for a 100k car.
I gladly paid 150 for my R and 1 buttons to be changed. Was happy
To do so.

It's not the switches, just the plastic caps, if I have to fork out £40 for a bit of plastic , then so be it, it just seems crazy money.

But as you say it's a £100k car so reasonble goes out the window

Sometimes Maserati prices are pure fiction but you just have to bite the bullet.

Their prices are set by a team with a dartboard, seems very odd what is essentially a plastic cap is £50 and an electronic ignition switch is £60 which is what I'd expect to pay for any car
